Work with result of a select in an external Java Program

Question

Hi!
i would like work with a field of a select in a external java program. I give you an example:
i want copy a table into another table, but i want do a little modification (before insert action) in one parameter via Java class wich parameter is a field in the select.
Example:
i've two tables:
TABLE_BACK (ID, CARACT)
TABLE_NEW (ID, CARACT)
and i've a java Method in an external class com.upc.myClass.modifyCaract(String paramS)
Then, before insert a row in table_new, i want do a transformation in Caract field from table_back. I want do something like this:
INSERT INTO TABLE_NEW (ID, NAME) ( SELECT ID, <%=com.upc.myClass.modifyCaract('I WANT HERE CARACT FIELD FROM TABLE_BACK') FROM TABLE_BACK )
is it possible? how can i do it?
Thanks!!

Hola Valdomir,
Que tal estas? Ya ha empezado el calor en Barcelona ? jejejejejejej
Well, I think to be possible do what you need.
1) In a procedure step, at source tab query the values, something like:
select caract as MY_CARACT from TABLE_BACK
2) at target tab, use the tags "<@ @>" to import the java class (after put it in the correct ODI directory).
3) at same target tab, after the tag just write (as your example):
INSERT INTO TABLE_NEW (ID, NAME) ( SELECT ID, <@=com.upc.myClass.modifyCaract('I #MY_CARACT) FROM TABLE_BACK )@>
I think this will be enough....
Un saludo,
